An oldie but goodie with purple and green!

So like forever ago on MakeupGeek, "UrbanelyDecayed" did a look with a purple smokey lid and a pop of turquoise under her eye. I loved it and have been doing my version of it every so often ever since. So this is my look for today:

On my eyes, I have:

~TFSI

~NYX JEP "Black Bean"

~NYX Ultra Pearl Mania "Purple"

~NYX eyeshadow "Black"

~NYX Ultra Pearl Mania "Jade"

~MAC "Vanilla" pigment as a highlight

~Bobbi Brown gel liner "Black Ink"

~L'oreal Extreme Collagen Mascara "Blackest Black"

On my lips I have:

~MAC "Myth" lipstick

~MAC "Viva Glam Gaga"

~L'oreal Infalliable Lipgloss "Suede"

Hey, did you guys know that I love nude lips??? Can you tell haha?? I'd heard all of this raving about Revlon "Soft Nude" lipstick and how it's a good dupe for MAC "Myth". Well I have "Myth" and I love it!! I wear it a lot (usually under a lipgloss because I have a hard time wearing only one lip product at a time haha, as you might be able to tell from my 3 lip products that I wore today)! So I decided since Rite Aid had Revlon cosmetics 40% off this week, it would be a good chance to try this lipstick out (even better that it only cost me $4.49!). So here are my "Soft Nude versus Myth" match:

"Myth" is on top "Soft Nude" is on the bottom

While I do like them both, "Myth" wins for me. It's more opaque and lighter (which is my personal preference). "Soft Nude" is creamier but it's definitely a more natural nude, as opposed to skin tone nude (I know people have different definitions of the word nude). But hey, if you're pale like me and looking for a decent, "lighter than natural lip color but darker than skin tone" nude than this one might be a good bet for you, the best part? You can buy almost 3 of these for the price of 1 MAC lipstick!

I luv this combo..I so need to try it out, it is a really stunning look! Also, thank you for the swatch comparisons on myth and soft nude, I do not own myth but I own soft nude, so it was very helpful to me. BTW I think gaga 2 would look amazing on you..revlon came out with a dupe for it, fashion night pout, I am putting up swatch comparisons of it tomorrow..I think they look similar..idk..

@danisaddiction: I do love them but I love them so much more over the black base!@Amalia: I just used an angled liner brush@Jess: Ooohh, I might have to get Gaga 2 now! I don't think you'd like Myth, I just checked your blog and you said that Soft Nude was too light for you, so I know Myth would be.@C.A. haha: thank you so much!

Your experience with cosmetic companies

I did a blog post about this but I feel that it's important enough to have on here permanently. If you guys ever buy anything from a company because of something I have said and you either get treated really well or really poorly, please let me know! I want to make sure I'm only promoting companies whose number one concern is customer satisfaction! You can e-mail me with any experiences at starryskies214@yahoo.com! Thank you so much for any feedback!
